The Trap Of Turning This Election Into The Final Battle Of 2016

Conservative media is a relatively small world. Most people within it opposed Trump during the 2016 primary; after his nomination, that shifted a bit; after his win, that shifted more, or at least more people reconciled themselves to the reality that whatever comes after Trump must incorporate the Trump era, while others simply exited conservative media.

Threaded through these debates is a nebulous sense that there’s still a choice, as if it’s December 2015 and there’s a slipping chance for Trump to be rejected. But that’s over. There may be plenty of voters who don’t like Trump, but the NeverTrumpers — so often the focus of Trump’s reflexive supporters in conservative media — hold little power.

And in the opposite direction, as Bulwark founder Charlie Sykes told Coppins, “The analogy [I’m] really afraid of, is that we’re the Japanese soldiers who don’t know the war is over, and we’re still hiding out in the cave.”a dinner where a bunch of political operatives and donor types went after the candidate at length.

They were Kennedy people, McCarthy people, Humphrey people. Some had worked for several of the candidates. They were, you might say, veterans.He was right. They had been scarred by the deaths of their two favorite candidates, and by the dismal failures of the other two, by the disappointments of their divisiveness and the ineffectuality of many of their liberal plans. They had lost their sense of idealism and enthusiasm and they were cynical and suspicious of anyone who could feel those things.

Someone’s triumph over Bernie Sanders — if it happens — will likely not be a validation of Hillary Clinton’s. Anti-Trump and pro-Trump will likely not break each other in a way that morally affirms the choice each made about Trump. Whatever happens next will be an affront to anyone who’s got their heart set on winning an election that’s been over for almost three years.

No reason to relitigate. Clinton won by 4,000,000 votes. She’s not running again. Bernie is, he will need to stand on his own accomplishments in 2020.

Michael Cohen denies under oath visiting Prague in 2016 to collude with RussiansPresident Donald Trump's former personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen said under oath Wednesday that he had never traveled to Prague to collude with Russian officials in 2016, denying a key claim of the infamous 'dossier' that alleged a conspiracy between Trump and the Kremlin. Yet CNN, Washington Post, NY Times, NBC, etc.... Claimed collusion for 2 years. The fake dossier relied on Cohen being in Prague to setup the claim of collusion. America has been the victim of mass FakeNews. History will not be kind to today's media who are just Dem operatives. F*&$kin' lawyers. International travel should be easy enough to verify through the state dept, so he's probably telling the truth. Someone didn't do their homework. Telephone records identified that Cohens phone pinged of a Prague tower during time on question. Did he give his phone to anyone? What areas could that have happened

Watch Live: Michael Cohen Testifying About What Trump Knew About WikiLeaks In 2016In prepared remarks, the president's former lawyer calls him 'a racist' and 'a conman,' while apologizing for previously lying to Congress. House Republicans are expected to attack Cohen in response. As Comey said, 'Lordy, I hope there are tapes.' Otherwise, the Trump die hards will just say Cohen is lying. Then again, they've never let verified evidence get in their way before so they'd probably still just find a way to write it off and double-down on their hero worship. We all knew...Wiki told us. The Republicans attack the conmittee for its failure to bring a witness who could shed light on these issues and who has no wrongdoing in their past. Has anyone found such a person?
